Modifications for Ran - The Memory of the Waves/Billow Maidens

[Eric Nelson]

The Ran Memory of the Waves from the Billow Maidens was nearly flawless, with pretty much every detail.
There are however some issues.

The main issue is Rootax, or the distance of it from Sol.

Originally it's 5.8 kly from Sol and the story states Rootax "is certainly not in our galaxy and could be in a different universe altogether".

But apparently there's a certain distance limit where nebulae, stars, planets, dwarf planets, moons, minor moons, asteroids and spacecraft can be rendered (like 10 Mly I believe), and for that reason, I had to increase the distance of HIP 317170 and 317171 1000 fold, putting their distance at 5.8 Mly from Sol (which magnifies the radius of HIP 317170 1000 fold which's what we want for this "alternate universe").

It fits with the story more than the 5.8 kly distance does and certainly makes the Rootax universe feel more like its own individual place.

The other issue is Hroenn (in habitable form) was missing mie parameters, so I added them to Hroenn (each timeframe before desolation by asteroid Skade).

Another major issue that needed fixing was Skade not colliding with Hroenn, and for that reason, I had to change Hroenn's SemiMajorAxis a bit so that Skade actually appears to collide with Hroenn and that the collision happened at the right location for the story.

Those are pretty much the issues that needed fixing (although there hasn't been a way to fix the precession period for the Derthi habitats over the moon Rootax so that they're tidally locked to it).

Runar Thorvaldsen worked hard on making a truly irreplaceable addon which can be found on here: http://www.celestiamotherlode.net/addon/addon_1177.html
These update files should be placed into Runar's Ran MOTW addon for anyone installing them.
